What can be said which is not already said in high praise of MyPhysio. Having tried everything from Holistic Deep Tissue Massage, Acupuncture, Pilates, Reflexology etc, etc (you name it) I was badgered by a friend to go and see Laura, at MyPhysio. I was in so much pain from a condition called Fibromyalgia that I thought, 'I will give it a try'. Firstly I was amazed that Laura recognised my condition (normally either dismissed as 'all in the head', or 'Sorry never heard of it'. Secondly she made me understand that Fibromyalgia is a 'real' disease and can be treated with plenty of muscle conditioning and gently exercise.
Laura also understood that fibro pain doesn't just occur in one place, it jumps all over the body and from head to toe. The muscle pain is sometimes excruciating and others just bearable. Then periods of respite allow a normal life for a day or so then back for more treatment on a different part of the body.
And so it goes on.
Laura soon got me to the stage through gentle and controlled exercise that I could walk for longer without pain and begin to have confidence in doing exercise (without the overriding fear that my tired muscles were actually getting better). Not ever able to be cured, Laura has shown me that exercise is key to me achieving a near normal life.
I also suffer from chronic nerve pain mostly in my legs which Laura treated with acupuncture. This had quite a successful outcome, and although not cured I have had some easing of the pain.
So, would I recommend MyPhsio? Absolutely
